First World Wisdom: The Tweet is mightier than the Sword

The power of the pen is respected from eons of writings that have declared the “pen is mightier than the sword”. The First World Wisdom has jumped in to add to the change in technology and showed it was never the pen but the ideas that flowed from it. Now our tweets are overturning governments!

First World Wisdom: Like my page and I’ll like yours

First World Wisdom: Never Judge an App by its Icon

This First World Wisdom is a cute change on the old adage of “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. That been said with hundreds of thousands of apps available for users to browse through the use of a brilliantly designed icon that is both attractive and representing the service the app offers does cut through the noise.
